Would you honestly play through a game with Batman and Sub-Zero because of the story?
If it’s all well and good to you, then I’m gonna drop a massive SPOILER bomb — when you finish the game as a good guy, he’d/she’d find some unique way to keep their own OR BOTH universes safe from destruction — there might be a morality play involved, etc, etc, along the way — you play as a bad guy? There’s bound to be a twist somewhere where the villain(s) from the DC Universe team up with the MK bad guys to take over the world, let the other universe exist and move on to it, or maybe the villain might opt to go save his/her own universe, only, in a darker, meaner, badder-er way. (with the Fatalities and whatnot)
Either way, I’m pretty sure the writers did a good job of making sense of this universe-crossing fisticuff. By the way, here’s the story trailer. Enjoy!
(By 1:41, Batman says, “It’s worse than I expected … much worse.” … WAT)
There isn’t even a scene where they try to talk it out — become one big, inter-universal group, trying to take down the “bigger forces at play” — but then that would’ve meant the fighting didn’t have to happen. Which would make for a really boring non-game.
From what we’ve seen over the last 6 or 7 months, the game is getting the same amount of attention and development lovin’ that a new MK would get, so fight-fans don’t need to worry.
What I do wonder about is, would you be able to pit same-universe characters against each other? All the media downloads seem to want to project the worlds colliding thing. (I’d like to see some Batman – Deathstroke in there.) Plus, that’d completely screw up the story, right?
Which side will you choose? The game comes out November 16.
